A peaceful creek-side studio in a redwood grove. Private entrance with a own bathroom & mini-kitchen
Hang out in the cozy room, in the private glen or go explore Henry Cowell Redwoods state park, Felton restaurants & tourist train. 20 min drive to ocean & Santa Cruz. close to Fall Creek State Park and Big Basin State Park. A good hub for Monterey, Carmel, Point Lobos and Big Sur. Close enough to San Francisco to make it a day trip.

Cozy studio with a super comfy bed, new bathroom, sitting area and kitchenette with table and two nice chairs. TV (for movies only but with a selection of movies), Microwave, hot plate, sauce pan and fry pan, toaster, coffeemaker, little frig. and a tea pot, dishes etc. Towels and shampoo too.
Very quiet and very private apartment. It's attached to the main house but on a separate level and feels like a cabin. It faces the forest and the main house faces the street.
Listen to the creek gurgle instead of traffic noise, with fresh air from the forest and a view of the little canyon.

Freddie's place was quiet and beautiful! It was very convenient and quick to drive into Santa Cruz while still being cozy and magical on it's own! Freddie was easy to communicate with and helpful about things to do in the area.

Hannah2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

This is our second stay with Freddie. The first time for a night and now, 3 months later for 3. We are looking forward to a week! Freddie always makes us feel like we are coming home. We can count on a clean and beautiful space, gourmet muffins fresh fruit and coffee to start our day, complete privacy and gentle quiet and the knowledge that he really cares about our needs.

Karen2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

Wonderful get away- quiet location, easy access to local restaurants and mountain parks. The studio is tastefully furnished and decorated. Love the gas heater, comfortable bed and chairs. The perfect kitchenette set up for our usual breakfast- coffee and toast. Compact frig and utensils to prepare our daily "To Go" lunches. So much more home-like than a hotel. Downtown Santa Cruz is a short beautiful drive from the location. Definitely on the list of "return & recommend."

I have to echo the many other glowing reviews. If anything, the accommodations were better than I'd expected. The room itself and bathroom are really fantastic - lots of wood, spotless, and I really appreciated having the little kitchenette. Bed was great. The moment I stepped into the room I felt my stress melt away. And then of course, you walk out the door and you're standing among beautiful coastal redwoods. I had come to the area to check out Santa Cruz, and had been a little reluctant to stay outside the city, but I'm so glad I did. It was extremely easy to get there, maybe 15 min, and Felton itself was a great little town. There's a redwood park just down the road where I spent a morning among the real giants. And Freddie was just extremely warm and welcoming, I wish we'd had more of a chance to chat, but I was out and about a lot. I hope I'll be able to stay again one day. And if you go, I hope you get some plums from the tree in the front yard - I'm pretty sure they're are as good as the ones they have in heaven.

Robert2015-07-05T00:00:00Z

Great location! Very close to Henry Cowell State Park and Santa Cruz dining/bars. The hot tub is just so nice at the end of the day. Friendly animals as well, which is a plus for me!

Rona2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

Lovely. The house is lovely, the forest is gorgeous, and the guide to Felton is very helpful. I didn't actually meet Freddie, but all of our communication was great & made me feel right at home.

Lee2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

This place couldn't be more magical and once you arrive, it's very likely you will never want to leave. This little studio has all the comforts of home (also impressively clean with a great shower) but feels like you are a million miles away in a forest. There are so many things to do whether its drink coffee by Fred's stream, say hello to his chickens & cats, ride bicycles to the State Park thats practically across the street or lounge in his hot tub. Fred is very communicative, accommodating and has lots of great tips. Thanks again, Fred, we had a blast!

Mickey and Sally are outstanding hosts. Very warm, friendly and so helpful with anything you need. Their private suite is gorgeous and has an incredible view. At night the stars are so bright and it is so peaceful and quiet. The suite has a very comfortable bed with beautiful linens and they have paid attention to every detail to make it comfortable and convenient for guests. In addition, Mickey and Sally are always close by with a friendly smile and an offer of help if needed yet always give you plenty of space and privacy. A truly super Airbnb stay. Thank you Mickey and Sally!

Catherine 2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

and enjoyed every minute of my stay. Thank you Mickey

Hillary 2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Super clean, nicely decorated and great view. Road to the house was steep but my husband had no problem with it. Quiet, hosts respected our privacy. We spent our days in Santa Cruz.

Karl2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Mickey and Sally was great. Because of our schedules we only saw them once, but they quickly communicated before and throughout our stay, and the property is comfy and beautiful. The area is fairly remote, but 5 minutes in either direction are towns with all you could need, from delicious burritos to fresh baked pastries. If you're heading to the area, or would like a retreat, definitely add this spot to your list.

Gary2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Mickey's place is lovely and exactly as described and pictured. Even though it is attached to main house, it feels quite separate and private. Mickey was friendly, helpful, and discreet. Beautiful location in the hills.

Sergio2017-03-06T00:00:00Z

Super cute place, well worth the value! Mickey was extremely accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Had everything I needed and more, including fast wifi and fresh fruit. Would definitely recommend staying here, thanks Mickey!

Kristin2016-12-09T00:00:00Z

I really enjoyed staying at Mickey's suite. It was easily accessible and he was always available to answer any questions I had before arriving. I had mentioned to him that this trip was an anniversary trip for me and my boyfriend and he even bought us champagne to celebrate! The place was beautiful, clean and an all-around great stay. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mickey!

We've renovated our downstairs apartment into a private 1 bedroom with full kitchen, bathroom, walk in closet, laundry and livingroom. We are 1 mile from Henry Cowell State Park. 10 minutes to Santa Cruz and beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches. Easy access to Hwy 17 and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Get away and relax in our quiet, friendly, neighborhood without being isolated from all of the fun that Santa Cruz has to offer. We value your privacy. We have complimentary wifi.

This apartment has been a rental since 2002 when we purchased our home. The apartment is spacious and private. You will have quick access to State Parks, the forest & beaches. We have renovated the apartment to be more open and functional. The living room has new laminate flooring and new furniture. The bedroom has a new queen bed and a large walk in closet. The bathroom has been updated with new counter, sink, and vanity. It has all you need for a weekend or weeks long stay.

Our neighborhood is private and off the main road which makes it quiet and peaceful. It's not uncommon to a have deer sightings during the day. Our neighborhood road dead ends, which keeps it kid friendly and safe. We are only 1 mile from town with easy access to grocery stores.

Lovely apartment which is still being finished as of our visit. The basics of comfort are completed and new. Most important--the bed is very comfortable. It's just the right mix of firm and cozy. As mentioned, the ceilings are low, the sunken living room is large (so is the bedroom.) The bathroom is a bit challenging with an overhead beam in the shower so taller people may find it a little cramped. The yard / walkway up is steep, but landscaped beautifully. You are surrounded by redwoods and are on a small cul-de-sac with privacy. We loved the town of Felton and it was easy to travel into Santa Cruz for fun at the beaches, restaurants etc. This is the nicest getaway we've stayed in and we'd recommend it!

Cailyn2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

Vic and Ali were incredibly accommodating for my family. They provided us with all the necessary accoutrements of a comfortable stay. They had quite the lovely and cozy space. Would highly recommend staying with them!!

Gavin2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Allison's place is tucked in a friendly cul-de-sac in the wooded little town of Felton. The area is beautiful, Allison is very thoughtful, and I'd totally stay here again. For any travel nurses reading, the apartment is equipped with everything down to the cutlery. Also, the drive to San Jose is easy and scenic.

Tamika2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

The description of the space was accurate. It was very clean and very comfortable. I love the location - mountains, deer (saw one watching us in the driveway when we first drove up), close to restaurants, close to Capitola. The hosts were very nice and accommodating. I'd never used AirBnB and didn't know I was supposed to contact them to arrange for a key ahead of time (my fault - I just neglected to read that part of the email). Alli had accounted for that and sent me a text message with information. She checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. I'd definitely recommend Alli and Vic's apartment to anyone wanting to get away from a hectic city.

Sheila2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Overall the stay was okay. The place seemed to be undergoing renovations. There was a heater so that was nice for the cold nights. The ceilings were quite low so it may be challenging for taller people. There was no microwave which would have been helpful for warming up leftovers. We were only there for a wedding so it was fine for what we needed it for. The host was very nice and responsive and easy to work with.

Lauryn2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Not at all disappointing. The apartment is bright, spacious and well furnished. The lounge has a comfortable modern settee and armchair. There is also a round dining table and four chairs. There is a large modern TV with internet access which provides casting from phones & tablets. There is also a connected Bose Soundbar which is also a BlueTooth speaker. The Wifi worked well throughout the apartment. The kitchen is dated but has a big gas cooker and big fridge/freezer. It is fairly well equipped. I asked Alison for 1 or 2 extra items and she promptly brought down for me. The bedroom is big with a large bed with thick comfortable mattress. Off the bedroom is a box room with a hanging wardrobe. There is also a full size modern washing machine and tumble dryer. The bathroom off the bedroom is adequate with a bath and shower which works well. There plenty of space for toiletries etc. There are low beams and ceilings in places but should really be a problem unless you are over 6' 2" and can't stoop. The two private entrance doors lead out to a terrace overlooking the garden. The lane is surrounded by tall Redwoods. Two comfortable wicker chairs are provided for outside which catches the afternoon sun. There is plenty of parking in the drive or on the lane. The location is perfect with a State Park within 1/2 a mile with a railroad down to the famous Santa Cruz Boardwalk and beach. There are two supermarkets, restaurants, bars and takeaways with 5 minutes in the car. There is easy access to main roads including the CA17 and downtown Santa Cruz. I had a wonderful 3 weeks there and it provided everything I needed for self-catering holiday. Allison was always around for a friendly exchange and to make sure everything was OK.

James2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

Vic and Alli were great hosts and the apartment was amazing! Alli welcomed us when we arrived, had great recommendations for places to explore in Felton and Santa Cruz, and was very responsive via text. The apartment itself was beautiful, inside and out. The neighborhood is private, safe, and peaceful. We loved being so close to Henry Cowell State Park and just a short drive away from the heart of Santa Cruz. Vic and Alli had warned us that they were currently renovating, but we could barely tell. The space was still very clean and nice, and we loved how large the apartment was - photos don't do it justice! I would absolutely go back and would recommend staying at Vic and Alli's apartment to any of my friends.

Natalie 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Hosts were great, just enough contact and were very easy going. The apt was simple, but very comfortable and clean. Everything we needed and then some. Had an amazing washer and dryer and iron. We are for sure going back. Location was centrally located, close to town, outdoor activities and Santa Cruz. Thanks!

This is a great little place to stay, close to Ben Lomond, Felton, and Santa Cruz. It is nicely decorated and comfortable, with both an indoor fireplace and an outdoor fire pit. We enjoyed cooking meals while there and were also close enough to town to dine out when we felt like it. There are several attractions just a few miles from the cabin--the Mystery Spot, the Roaring Camp train ride, the beach, and museums to tour. This was a perfect and affordable place to stay for our trip.

Kim2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

What a great experience! This is a perfect set up for 1-2 people that want to spend a nice and cozy weekend getaway near Santa Cruz! Everything was very clean from the kitchen to the bathroom. And the hosts communicate very well about everything we needed to know to ensure safety and that everything would go well. I would definitely suggest this place to everyone that wants to visit Santa Cruz but also wants to stay 10-15 minutes away from the crazy crowd. All considered I am absolutely ecstatic about my experience. Excellent spot!!

Well considered. Cozy queen bed w/ fireplace and small river deck makes the creekside manor a sweet lil' wknd away from sf secret. A few minutes from downtown felton. The owners have dialed this lovely studio in to a comfy perfection.

joe2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

This was my second stay at this lovely Creekside cottage. It is the PERFECT location to enjoy the Santa Cruz coast and mountains. It is close to amazing restaurants, a fabulous grocery store with everything you could possibly need (lots of organic and artisan) and a great thrift store if you enjoy thrifting. The internet is fast making it perfect for a working vacation. Enjoy the coast and surroundings during the day and get some work done in the evenings. Rob and Tara, the hosts, have thought of everything. It is impeccably decorated giving it the warmth of your favorite relative's bungalow (it even has a fireplace). Communication with the hosts was easy, check in was smooth and the cottage was super clean. This is the perfect place to stay alone for a renewing getaway or for romantic getaway with your special someone. The courtyard was great for enjoying a meal outside and the fire pit and outdoor lights add to the ambience giving it a touch of magic. I will definitely be staying at this perfect cottage again.

Pamela2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

This is a cozy, clean, and very lovely space. There is a nice view from the back patio that is perfect for meals outdoors. The hosts were very helpful and provide information on the area. The location is perfect as well as it is close to the Henry Cowell State Park and there are a lot of shops close by.

Lisa is an excellent host and her property is beautiful. She was very welcoming of us and our two dogs, one of whom is 80lbs. When searching for houses in the area, most didn't allow large dogs or if they did there was a large cleaning fee, so we greatly appreciated Lisa's property. The house is small, but cozy and the bed is comfortable. The heater was a huge bonus, as it got chilly at night. Overall, we had a great time staying here and would definitely come back. Thanks Lisa!

Sharmeela2016-11-08T00:00:00Z

只是一个供参考 - 山寨本已接近HWY 9所以有一些交通噪音处理,但如果你习惯于听到它一个大问题。

Valerie 2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at Lisa's place in Ben Lomond. It's a great jumping off point for adventures and hikes in Santa Cruz, Cowell Redwoods State Park, etc. The cabin has what you need for a couple's retreat. I recommend going to the Tyrolean German restaurant in town!

Jelena2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

This place is wonderful and peaceful. Lisa was very welcoming to us and our dog. We'd love to go back and stay there in the future.

Nora2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's cabin in the woods, and so much so we booked a return next weekend! Lisa was extremely helpful in her communications before hand. Thanks, Lisa!

Brian2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Great place for a couple large dogs and a couple people.

Ric2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay! Lisa is a great host, and her place was perfect for my husband and I with our infant son. A few cobwebs, but surrounded by the most beautiful trees.

Catharine2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

The place was absolutely charming, clean, quiet and comfortable. Lisa is an awesome, responsive, communicative host. I will definitely book again next time I visit Santa Cruz!

The Woodland Nest is the perfect location if you're looking for peace and quiet amongst the redwoods, but only 5 miles away from downtown Santa Cruz. You get the best of both worlds. Lynne did a great job on the decor, it's so fitting and cozy. It really was home away from home. We'll be back soon!

Elizabeth2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Woodland Nest is an awesome place to stay in Santa Cruz. It is an EASY 5 min drive from downtown SC. The drive is a straight shot through the wood with 1 (one) turn you have to make. Communication and accuracy of information from Lynne perfect. We knew exactly where to park on the narrow lane.

Charles2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Lynn is a responsive and courteous host. The house is clean and is better than the pics.

David2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

This home was super cute & cozy and perfect for our family of four! Lynn was a very gracious & attentive host from start to finish. She has done a wonderful job making The Woodland Nest a restful, peaceful retreat, stocked with everything you need for a great getaway. We stayed for a week of family camp at Mount Hermon & loved getting in our walks among the redwoods every day. We were even able to walk to one of our favorite swimming holes in the Henry Cowell Redwoods, right out the front door! Thank you Lynn for your hospitality, quick response time & care that you have put into making The Woodland Nest a lovely home away from home.

Sarah2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Lynne was a great host, very friendly, responsive and gave us a very warm welcome at check-in. You could tell that she works hard to be a great host and to make her place special for all those that come to visit ! A very special place to stay in the redwoods and relax yet so close to an amazing place like Santa Cruz !

Steve2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Nice place to stay . Very quiet and friendly neighborhood. Beautiful setting. Easy to find, easy in and out to area attractions. Lynn was a friendly and helpful host.

David2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Nice, clean and comfortable place to stay. Lynne was a great host.

Nancy2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Lynne's Woodland Nest is so peaceful, lovely, and supremely clean. Lynne is a fantastic host and has thought of everything you'd need to have a great stay. The beds are comfy, the towels are fluffy, and the setting is beautiful. We feel lucky to have been able to visit!

Retreat in a luscious green canyon and discover the magic of Santa Cruz. We are perfectly located- surrounded by incredible nature & close to all the goodness Santa Cruz has to offer: dining, shopping, trails, golf courses-all without having to navigate traffic to get there.
Our apartment is a great place for couples to focus on each other & relax into themselves; solo adventurers and business travelers will also find this apartment has all the home away from home goodies one could want.

Our apartment is a perfect retreat space, romantic getaway or base for adventure. Our intent was to make it feel like a home away from home & the feedback has confirmed that.
The canyon is green & luscious, the trees are so beautiful, the creek below is flowing and the fireplace keeps the space warm & cozy on cool evenings. The deck chairs offer an invitation to take it all in.
The full kitchen allows for your dining-in needs to be easily fulfilled.
It's pretty easy to relax here in the canyon.

Our neighborhoods greatest gift is the peace of nature & the close proximity to town. Our house is also off the main roads enough to be able to avoid (for the most part) the summer traffic coming and going from downtown & the beach.

A perfect place for city dwellers to escape into nature, with all the comforts of home; a great nights sleep and an easy drive into town. Comfortable indoor & outdoor spaces, a well equipped kitchen (the knives were good & sharp!), a great bed & the feeling of being in a treehouse with the surrounding forested canyon. The description states clearly that they live above the space, but the reality of that (for us) was the feeling of being in an apartment which shares walls and floors, therefore hearing your neighbors. If you find that a bother, this may not be the place for you. It is a delightful space and Debra, Steve & Jaden couldn’t have been nicer!

Kevin & Jill2016-09-01T00:00:00Z

The listing description for this place is very accurate--beautiful view of the canyon, spacious and very clean apartment with all the amenities imaginable. The bed is so comfortable! I loved cooking in the kitchen, which had everything I needed including sharp knives and nice pots and pans. The hosts provided coffee and teas for guests to make and enjoy on the deck while soaking in the greenery and morning birdsong.

Erin2016-06-30T00:00:00Z

Loved the view from the deck and serenity in the evening. Nice, comfortable bed and the hosts are friendly and accommodating.

John/Phyllis2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

Homey and tree house feel just far enough away from the bustle of the city while still being an easy quick drive. We had a wonderful experience.

Ideal for couples who enjoy quiet, privacy and ocean views, like cooking in their own fully equipped kitchen, and appreciate being just minutes from shopping and beaches. Not suitable for children. Two-person maximum, please.

We are located on a private road, with little traffic yet easy access to town.

What a beautiful house! We felt so lucky to stay here. Maia was attentive while respecting or privacy. Definitely recommend staying here - it's close to downtown, has a great little kitchen, and views that can't be beat.

Andrew2016-03-28T00:00:00Z

Had a great time! Clean, spacious, very soft sheets! Hot tub was awesome—clear view to the ocean!

Alex2016-04-11T00:00:00Z

Maia is a wonderful host! Very peaceful and tranquil location and the apartment is clean and very well equipped. We didn't get to enjoy the pool or the hot tub because of the rainy weather, but Maia provides this booklet that lists out all the nearby attractions (beaches, restaurants, etc) so we get to get fun anyways...Thank you!

Chak Haang Vina2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

It was lovely, quiet and clean. It's also very conveniently located from health food stores, downtown, beaches and hiking. Great spot!

Koelle2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

Maia was a wonderful host and her home was fantastic. It is located away from the craziness of downtown Santa Cruz up in the hills and has a great view. The property is essentially a mother-in-law apartment over the garage, but it's huge considering that - maybe 650 square feet? My toddler loved the wall-to-wall carpet and I loved the walk-in-shower.

Carey2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

This was an amazing weekend get-away place. The listing was clean and comfortable, along with having amazing views of the ocean. It had all the amenities we needed and everything was modern. It's around 5 mins for downtown, so very easy to get to the beach or restaurants. Maia was an exceptional host, she's one of the nicest hosts i've met so far! Will definitely be returning next time i'm in Santa Cruz!

Monica2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

I absolutely love visiting Santa Cruz! This year I tried Airbnb for the first time and feel like I won the lottery! Maia's place was the perfect place for me and my niece. The apartment is everything you could possibly want from a home away from home! The location, the views and all of the comforts made it hard to leave the apartment. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay there again when I return to the area.

We were visiting Boulder Creek after a 25 year absence. Our stay was wonderful - we stayed for a total of five days and had everything we could possibly need. Lovely, helpful hosts.

Judith-Ann2014-11-19T00:00:00Z

This place is incredible! If you're looking to get off the beaten path and want to seek some peace and quiet in the (URL HIDDEN) the mountains, this is THE place to be. Judy was an amazing hostess and had literally though of any and everything to make our stay more enjoyable. We will definitely be staying here again.

Stephen2014-07-14T00:00:00Z

My husband and I stayed here the weekend of our wedding and we couldn't have asked for better accommodations! Judy was a wonderful hostess and the space was comfortable and clean and felt like home. We had a very busy weekend and it was a perfect retreat at the end of the day. Thank you Judy for your hospitality and I highly recommend this listing!

Michelle2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Judy was a great host and gave us excellent recommendations for food in the area. The place was very clean!

Our stay at Judy's Paradise in the Redwoods was awesome! The studio apartment was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small children). Judy and Jim were welcoming, friendly and accommodating! The place was exceptionally clean, well stocked and had everything you could possibly need to get away from it all. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend staying to anyone looking for a vacation.

Mary2014-04-07T00:00:00Z

We had a really lovely time here. Judy was always helpful and welcoming and the place was spacious, clean, and cozy. We were attending a wedding at nearby YMCA Camp Campbell and this was the ideal spot to unwind and relax after all the excitement. Should fate ever bring us to Boulder Creek again, we'll definitely be thinking of this place!

Lila was a great host. She was very welcoming and accommodating and we had a lovely time in her little sanctuary. Her place is in a quiet street and has a great view from the yard. The bed was really comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay including stable, fast internet, a little kitchen and a laundry. Already wishing we were back there.

Kacy 2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

I stayed here while moving my daughter into UCSC. It was wonderful. Very convenient location and setting is so peaceful and relaxing. Exactly what I needed. It is a sanctuary in Santa Cruz. Lila was wonderful and quickly responded when I asked for dining suggestions. The bed was very comfortable.

Angel2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

The Elegant sanctuary was lovely and Lila was a wonderful host. My daughter and I needed a place close to UCSC, that was quiet and the pool was a bonus! Great experience.

Staying with Lila couldn't have been better. The property is exactly like you see in the pictures, including the swimming pool--which is completely yours to use. Lila is around if you have any questions (and answers text messages almost instantly), but also gives you a lot of privacy: you have your own entrance, your own piece of backyard and a parking spot. My girlfriend and I really felt like owning a Santa Cruz home (located in a very good neighborhood, by the way) for a week. Highly recommended if you're looking for a comfortable & quiet, yet easily reachable place to stay.

Lila was very welcoming and helpful. The space was very comfortable. The queen bed especially comfortable. Lila left us with fruit and muffins butter and jam. All very nice

Lila's place was lovely, clean, comfortable, easy and accurate based on the description and pictures. The neighborhood was secluded from town and definitely added to the "getaway" feel. The bed is amazingly comfortable and in general to whole apartment was perfect for my weekend relaxation trip. Lila was flexible with our check-in, check-out time and helped explain all the amenities with very clear instructions.

(BTW-please read Guest Access below!) Sweet, quiet one-bedroom ground-level unit with off-street parking. There is a second-storey unit above that is inhabited by another long-term tenant. At the end of an active day, sit back with a glass of wine then sink into a cozy, plush and romantic pillow-top queen bed...
The couch folds out into a full-size bed. Note: This is a hideabed. It is not the best or the worst. That being said please don't expect a mattress like a regular bed.

Available for your use are a toaster oven, coffee maker, mini-fridge, microwave oven and a coffee grinder. There is a full compliment of eating utensils. Ground coffee will be made available at your request.
Here are a few things to note: In the "kitchenette" there is no sink. The sink in the bathroom may be used for washing dishes. Dishes must be wiped clean of food with paper towels before washing, as the drain is not designed to handle food waste. The sponge is a "soap sponge" with a handle in the vanity. There is another all-purpose sponge in a tilt-out panel just below the sink counter. There is a small Corian composite shelf under the bathroom sink which can be put in place over the toilet temporarily for staging dishes. Clean dishes may then be placed in the drying rack on the kitchenette, on top of its drip cloth.
We have a smart TV on which you may view Netflix, Amazon movies if you have an account. The TV reception in our area is poor and there are few channels as we have no cable subscription. The wifi, however is fiber optic and great!

Kirkland's place was neat and well-kept. It is located behind his house and underneath a long-term renter's apartment. While I appreciated his thoughtfulness (texting in the AM to ask if we wanted more coffee, bringing us ice), I will say that staying in his house was somewhat nerve-wracking, as I was worried about the many rules and instructions that he left (shoes off, how to pull out the bed, how to wash dishes, how to sweep, etc). As a good renter, I treat the house as my own, and yet felt nervous and micromanaged in my overnight stay.

Very convenient accommodation in Santa Cruz. It is a walkable distance to city center and to beach while close to shops (Whole Foods etc) and in quiet and safe area. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival, coffee and small snacks were offered as a kind invitation. Highly recommended:).

Katerina2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

This was an amazing find! It was comfortable, clean and easy to find. Kirkland was friendly and very helpful. Bed was extremely comfy. I'd definitely come back! Thank you Kirkland for your hospitality.

Sharon2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

Our stay was very short - we spent most of our time at the beach or downtown seeing a concert. The house was as advertised and Jason was very helpful in getting us situated. A heads up - the shades on the windows are very thin, so we were woken up bright and early, but this wasn't an issue as we wanted to get out and fit more things in on our short weekend trip. Would rent again!

The front porch was very appealing to sit out on high above the street. The bed linens were lovely and breakfast foods, wine and chocolates were thoughtfully offered. The apartment is private and very pretty.

Catherine2017-02-01T00:00:00Z

This rental may be my new favorite AirBnB. The apartment is a great size and the decor is absolutely stunning. We loved our evening bike ride along the coast. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay. What a lovely place to call home for a few days in one of our favorite places. We love Jenna and Gavins style. The space is impeccable and the attention to detail made our stay a TEN!

Christina2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

Jenna and Gavin were very accommodating. The location was great and never too far away from anywhere. The apartment felt private, which is nice. The neighborhood is a very nice, clean, safe neighborhood. I can't say enough nice things about our hosts, the location, and Santa Cruz. Can't wait to be back!

Travis2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

Jenna was an amazing host! Very informative, clean home, privacy, styled beautifully, comfortable, the amenities were amazing. We were overall very pleased and shocked to have our first airbnb go so well. Thank you for your hospitality and allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Michael2016-10-29T00:00:00Z

You will get an amazing feel of Santa Cruz here as well as a great "off shore" beach feel. Jenna and Gavin crushed it as hosts and were totally amazing. I'd recommend and stay here again in the future.

This welcoming Victorian Apartment sleeps 2 in a Queen bed with memory foam topper and another 2 on a "pullout sofa". The building is one of the historic beauties of Santa Cruz with 3 apartments. Built in 1860s, this historic getaway is 2 blks. from the heart of Downtown! We are about a mile walk to the beach! Walk and Enjoy! (NO Smoking) We are a licensed Hotel/BnB with the City of Santa Cruz.

The Apartment sleeps up to 4/ maybe 5 (Children); Queen/Memory Foam/ Therapeutic bed (2) in Master with bath, NEW Pullout sofa bed (2), (+1- ottoman flips into a tiny twin... great for 3-5 year old) and pack~n~play available (+baby/toddler) and twin roll away available on request; Laundry room W/D, Full kitchen with Gas stove (where you will find all you will need) and Master Bath (bath/shower) with wood floors through out.
WiFi, cable and private off street parking.
Check the map for exact location. We are located at the intersection of Hwy 1 and Chestnut St.

The majestic Victorian is 2 blocks from the heart of Downtown Santa Cruz and the beloved Mission of Santa Cruz is on the way to the clock tower atop Mission Hill.
Our lil Local Grocery is close too @ Laurel and Mission- Food Bin and Herb Room (If you need a snack? Across the street is a mini-mart.)

Overall we've had a great stay and hosts where very accommodating to our needs and requests, kitchen was stoked well, beds where comfy. House is 2 mins away from the downtown with all you'd need, about 5 mins drive from the beach. Despite place being close to a busy road we didn't have much problem sleeping at night. Some points to note: small park nearby is nice, but is always occupied by homeless so not exactly inviting hang-our place, it does get hot in the apt during hot days, bathroom is only accessible from the bedroom and it lacks ventilation.

Max2015-10-01T00:00:00Z

The apartment was smaller than we thought - though very clean and well located. The sofa bed was not comfortable at all so we did not use it. Well stocked - coffee maker, toaster, microwave etc. Needed an iron and board and it was quickly supplied. The space heater in the bedroom was necessary and nice to have.

Jaimi2015-12-01T00:00:00Z

The listing was accurate. The location was great for our weekend. The place was clean and had everything we needed. On a busy street, no problem for us. Our first time using Airbnb and we will be using it again in the future.

This is the perfect space for two people to enjoy the downtown charm of Santa Cruz. A pull out bed in the living room provides an additional full bed for one or two guests. Use it as a launching point to explore downtown restaurants and the boardwalk or for a surf weekend with its close proximity to the beach or visit your student at the UCSC. The house is nestled within Santa Cruz's historic Victorians. This is a true Santa Cruz neighborhood with convenient access to the best the city has to offer. It's a very quiet neighborhood. We're also close in to world class mountain biking and surfing.

Our stay here was just perfect. Michael was a more than gracious host, making sure all our needs were met without being at all intrusive. (He even sent us a text when there were humpback whales sighted at Mitchell Cove so we could go see them!) The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and within easy walking distance of everything in downtown Santa Cruz. (On days when my friend had our only car, for example, it didn't slow me down at all.) I had a hard time leaving both Santa Cruz and the Green Street Bungalow, and I'd definitely want to say there again when next I'm in town. Thanks so much, Mike and Mary!

Elizabeth2015-09-17T00:00:00Z

Quite street near busy downtown area beach and forest are just minutes away.

Brad2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

The hosts were fantastic. We were two couples staying at the bungalow for the weekend, with two of us participating in the triathlon the town over. Our home base at the bungalow was a wonderful place to rest, relax, and have fun. The pull-out couch was convenient and comfortable. Also, the hosts went the extra mile (literally) by checking their entire block for my lost house keys (when it turns out I had them on me the whole time).

Jessica2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

Such a great spot! The house was really adorable, very clean and in a great location. Would stay again!

Jennifer2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

What a lovely space and Mike and Mary couldn't have been kinder. Perfect location, minutes to downtown, west cliff, new leaf market and more. The space was perfectly designed, comfy couch, great wifi, clean and lovely. Can't wait to return!

Jen 2017-05-10T00:00:00Z

Michael was there to greet us when we arrived. The apartment is exactly as described, very nice and cozy in a great location just a few minutes walk from downtown Santa Cruz. Would definitely stay there again! They also had a great lunch recommendation for our ride back to San Francisco.
